Hi,

Thanks so much for all the purrs for Nadia and the kittens.  Please
keep them coming when you can.

Nadia saw the vet yesterday afternoon.  I was worried because she
felt really hot to me, especially her ears.  Since she has so
much going on with her health, I thought it best to go ahead and
take her in.  Her temperature is a bit high, but the vet felt it
was to be expected because of her infections.  Fortunately, it was
not "scarey" high.

Nadia is a handful to medicate.  I have to put ointment in her eyes
3 times a day and give her antibiotic once a day.  She also had
loose stools several times yesterday so the vet gave me flagyl.
The stool sample came back negative for all nasties, so I'm going
to wait a day or two and see if she needs the flagyl or if it is
just the stress of moving and getting seperated from her kittens.
I hate to give it to her if she doesn't really need it - it is the
most awful, foaming mouth stuff.  I have to wrap her up like a very
tight burrito for medication, and she still manages to scratch me
up.  Otherwise, she is a love though.

She played with me this morning for the first time.  First with a
feather and then with a ball on a string.  I was so pleased.
She must be feeling at least a bit better.

Thanks again.  I'll update how she is in a few days.
